Syria occupies a strategic location in the Middle East. The war on Syria is part of a military road map.
The war on Syria is an integral part of a broader US-NATO-Israel military agenda directed not only against Iran, but also against Russia and China.
Moreover, it is part of a military agenda which consists in establishing control over Middle East-Central Asian oil reserves as well as strategic oil and gas pipelines.
It is a component of a broader process of global warfare and of country level political destabilization in the Middle East, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia.
The US sponsored Al Qaeda insurgency in Syria launched in March 2011 was to trigger regime change and the downfall of the government of Bashar al Assad.
The insurgency has been defeated.
The government of Bashar al Assad prevails. The failure of America’s covert war –integrated by mercenaries and special forces within rebel ranks– has set the next stage: a conventional theater war involving a massive deployment of air force as well as boots on the ground.
The onslaught of this humanitarian war requires a “credible” justification. The US and its allies are now accusing the Syrian government, without evidence of using Sarin gas against its own population, with a view to shaping a pretext to intervene militarily in Syria.
Unconfirmed sources suggest that the timing of this extensive military operation including missile attacks, bombings raids and ground operations is due to commence on the Labor Day weekend. Latest reports, however, also suggest the expression of a strong antiwar sentiment emanating from Britain’s House of Commons, with a vote postponed until early next week.
Reports suggest that the US may decide to initiate missile strikes over the weekend without the endorsement of its indefectible British ally.
US, British, French and Israeli officials are currently involved in a round of consultations regarding the nature and timing of this operation. While war preparations are ongoing, a formal decision to wage on Syria has not as yet been taken by the US and its allies
